Recently, a variety of methodologies based on the use of educational coding robots have been proposed and experimented in newly emerging korean educational coding markets. Due to imprecise movement accuracy of the existing coding robots, however, such robots are mainly used as a toy. Inspired by these observations, we developed a simple adjustment method during robot movements, which is based on the observation results of 6 line-tracking sensors: 3 sensors in the center of a robot and other 3 sensors at the front. These sensors help to determine whether the robot is in the right location and whether it rotates as expected. Through the well-designed experiments, we report the effectiveness of our proposed solution: the average distance error of 1.57cm and the average degree error of 2.38 degree before and after complex movements. In near future, we hope our method to be popularly used in various educational coding robot platforms.

It is necessary to establish a system suitable for the driving vehicle so that it can effectively search for and modify various data anywhere and anytime by effectively linking communication with the computer system in the running vehicle and to control the equipment properly for smooth operation on a limited platform do. Also, vehicle CAN communication is used to extract system engine information, and data is transmitted using ZigBee for this information transmission. Therefore, OBD-II protocol, which is provided by the vehicle itself, is used for vehicle CAN to obtain vehicle status information and exhaust gas using various sensor information of the vehicle and O2 sensor value, and transmits it to the ZigBee main control system. In this study, we implemented a system that can reduce the battery load damage to the maximum by reducing the power consumption to the maximum, and to monitor the internal state of the vehicle through ZigBee communication with the embedded system for low power vehicles.

Outliers detection and elimination included in field monitoring datum are essential for effective foundation of unusual movement, long and short range forecast of stability and future behavior to various structures. Integrated outlier analysis system for assessing long term time series data was developed in this study. Outlier analysis could be conducted in two step of primary analysis targeted at single dataset and second multi datasets analysis using synthesis value. Integrated outlier analysis system presents basic information for evaluating stability and predicting movement of structure combined with real-time safety management platform. Field application results showed increased correlation between synthesis value including similar sort of sensor showing constant trend and each single dataset. Various monitoring data in case of showing different trend can be used to analyse outlier through correlation-weighted value.

Recent robot software platform research focuses on providing intelligent service via abstraction of robot devices. Context-aware techniques are necessary for intelligent robot services, which are based on the perception of environmental information obtained from heterogeneous sensors in IoT environment. Robot Operating System (ROS) provides protocols to operate robot devices. ROS includes functions for abstracting heterogeneous sensors themselves in order to control the robot, however, it lacks the ability to provide context information that the robot can perceive based on environmental information through consistent collection methods. In this paper, we propose a relay system for ROS to provide context-aware robot service. The proposed system makes it possible for ROS to control and provide context-aware robot services with relay of an external context-aware system and ROS. In experiments, we demonstrate procedures that robot services abstracted from ROS and an external context-aware system works together based on the proposed system.

LED illumination has been developed from simple illumination to human oriented multi-functional system depending on the IT convergence trends. Thus, the convergence of IT technology such as various types of sensor and communication functions with application software can make saving of energy, and there are also several needs about the tailor-made illuminations requirements for the diverse users who want to take their own colors, strengths of the light. For the adaption of these kinds of intelligent system illumination, user oriented sensor and control should be possible. The LED lighting control system transmits and receives data via the Bluetooth mesh network and provides functions such as LED lighting control, LED lighting condition monitoring, energy usage monitoring, and energy peak point management. Therefore, in this paper, we suggest wireless communication platform and control system for the LED illumination control. We can expect life extension of LED illumination, and energy saving through this suggested system.

Rolling noises during train operation are caused by vibration excited from irregularities of surface roughness between wheel and rail. Therefore, a proper measurement and analysis techniques of acoustic roughness between wheel and rail surface are required for transmission, prediction, and analysis of the train rolling noise. However, since current measuring devices and methods use trolley-based manual handling devices, the measurements induce unstable measuring speed and vibrational interface that increases errors and disturbances. In this paper, a new automatic rail surface exploring platform with a speed controller has been developed for improving measurement accuracy and reducing inconsistency of measurements. In addition, we propose a data integration method of the rail surface roughness with multiple homogeneous displacement sensors and verified the accuracy of the integrated data through standard test-bed railway track investigation.

Recently, the performance of binaural hearing aids is rapidly improved with the technology advancement of wireless communication, digital signal processing, and integrated circuit design. However, the previous hearing aids developer platforms can't be applied to binaural hearing aids developing, because it has no consideration for wireless communication and binaural hearing control. Also, the previous developer platforms are not easy to use for the algorithm development, because programming languages are limited. In this paper, we designed and implemented the open platform board for binaural hearing aids developing. The designed board can be programmed by general programming language and can be used wireless communication module. In order to verify the designed open platform board, we used the volume control algorithm using two open platform board. As a result of experiment, we verified the performance of designed and implemented open platform board that was successfully operated the binaural hearing control and the wireless communication.

하천에서 수위는 가장 기본적인 수리 수문학적 자료로서, 홍수나 가뭄 등의 피해를 막기 위한 치수와 물을 잘 통하게 하거나 물을 이용하기 위한 이수에 주로 사용된다. 예를 들면, 댐, 보, 저수지 등의 하천시설물 설계 및 관리를 위해 수위를 이용하며, 유량 산정을 위해서 수위-유량 관계 곡선식을 구축하여 수위를 이용한다. 따라서 하천에서 수위는 현재 국내에서 수자원분야에서 사용되는 자료 중에서 가장 중요하며, 동시에 광범위하게 사용되고 있으므로 수위를 관측하는 것이 수자원의 기초라 할 수 있다. 수위 관측의 필요성과 확장 필요성에 대한 인식에도 불구하고, 국내의 수위 관측소는 한강, 낙동강, 금강 등 대하천 위주로 설치되어 있어, 중소규모 하천에서 발생하는 다양한 수문사상에 대한 분석 및 예측이 어려운 실정이다. 특히, 홍수의 경우 같은 강우 사상에도 대하천보다는 중소규모의 하천이 더 극단적으로 유출이 발생하기 때문에, 즉각적인 수위의 계측이 필요한 실정이다. 하지만 한정된 예산 및 인프라의 부족은 중소규모 하천에 대한 수위 관측 시스템의 적용이 대하천에 비해 그 우선수위가 밀리는 원인이 되고 있으며, 지속적으로 중소규모 하천에 대한 수위 관측시스템 적용에 대한 수요가 증가를 야기 시키고 있다. 최근, 과거에 제품을 만들기 위한 전자회로, 자재명세서, 기판도면 등의 정보를 공개하지 않는 폐쇄적인 환경을 벗어나 제품을 만들기 위한 하드웨어 정보를 공개하고, 공개된 정보를 통해 기술을 개발하기 위한 움직임이 활발하다. 이러한 개념을 오픈소스 하드웨어라는 개념으로서, 하드웨어의 제작 없이 간단한 코딩을 통해 하드웨어를 컨트롤 하는 기술이다. 즉, 오픈소스 하드웨어는 초소형화된 PC를 활용하여 센서를 작동하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 이를 통해 기존의 기술을 저렴한 가격으로 제품으로 생산할 수 있다. 또한 사물인터넷(IOT)를 활용하여 온라인 상에서 이러한 오픈소스 하드웨어를 컨트롤 할 수 있으며, 웹서비스와 결합할 경우 센서를 통해 수집된 결과를 인터넷 상에서 확인 할 수 있는 기술들이 지속적으로 개발하고 있다. 이러한 기술이 접목되면 과거에 비해 적은 비용으로 고효율의 자료 수집을 수행 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 중소규모 하천에 대한 수위 관측시스템 적용에 대한 수요를 해결하기 위해서 기존의 시스템이 가지고 있는 경제적, 기술적 한계를 극복하기 위하여 오픈소스 하드웨어 플랫폼인 아두이노와 사물인터넷 기반 기술을 활용하기 위한 웹서비스를 이용하여 실시간 수위 관측기술을 개발하고, 적용성을 검토하고자 한다.
